Answers :

Its a big job, If your petty handy, You have to start from the back of the camera, Remove rear cover,Then front cover, Next lcd Display unit, Hopefully your haven\\'t put the battery\\'s in the camera for a while because the flash has high voltage in it, if you have, You must discharge first, them take circuit board out,Then lens assy, Now the fun part, You have to take the lens apart from the back also, Like I said its a big job, Better when you get this far into the camera you just replace the lens, with a used one form a diff camera (same model )

Powershot A640 Could Not Be Powered On, Burnt Smell
My Powershot A640 died during a picture shot, lens remaining open. I thought it may be due to the dead batteries. But after putting new batteries and pushing the on/off button, the on/off indicator blinked once then shut off by itself. After a while, a strange smell came from camera batteries area, and I could feel warm there too. Immediately I took out all the batteries from camera.

For my Powershot sx110is there is a spot showing up on my pictures. I can see it in the viewfinder. I think it is some dust or dirt on an inner lens because I've cleaned the outer lens. The spot goes away when I engage the 10x-40x telephoto. Any suggestions how I can clean?

I have fuzz in the view finder of Olympus Evolt 410 I have cleaned mirror and have removed the upper lens and spring clips interior and cleaned that upper glass as well

A black spot has appeared on my pictures.
It is located 140mm from the left hamd side &50mm from the bottom of the picture. I have cleaned the lenze and changed lenzes,but to no evail

If the spot is in the same location after changing lenses than I would say that you either have something on the sensor in the camera body behind the lens or the sensor has a dead pixel. You can first try cleaning the sensor. There are many products ...

My Canon PowerShot A640 shuts down a lot - It seems there is something loose in the camera. Even though I keep putting brand new batteries in the camera, it continues to just shut down again and again and again. Where can I take this camera to have it looked at?

Judging\012 from the hundreds of hits and top position of this issue, Canon cameras\012 have a propensity for falsely reporting low battery condition and then \012shutting down, even if the batteries have just been changed. I've had \012this experien ...

I received a Canon PowerShot SD870IS Digital ELPH as a present for Christmas. Unfortunately, my apartment caught fire three weeks ago. My Camera was in its case. the case is burnt on the outside and the camera looked dirty on the outside. It seems to be working but I am just worried that there might be some more damage in the inside. Shall I send it to Canon for an overhaul? What do you suggest? I cleaned the outside but I am still not sure. Please help!
